funny how you can't have tinted window cuz cops'll get shot yet they pull you over for having tinted windows.

Colorado has a 27% tint limit on side and rear windows and on my Focus it's 20% with 15% on the rear window while my STI and 4Runner are solid 15% all around but no issues. My friend,the CSP,says he might use the tint as a reason to pull somebody over if he suspects something else but he's never written a tint ticket and usually just gives a verbal as a suggestion.

Well if the cop pulled you over solely for tint then that's just sol. Only thing is where I'm from if I ever do get pulled over and use this advice it might be weird during -30c winter lol.

One of my employees is a retiree that just wants to stay active and pick up work here and there. He's 65 and got pulled over by the local police for having illegal tint.

He bought the car from a dealership with the tint already on it, and never thought anything about it. The cop wouldn't hear it, and told him he could explain it to the judge.

He said he felt like a teenager, because the officer pulled him over just for that at 7:00am on a Sunday, on the way to work, and is standing there testing his tint with a device.

I don't see why the officer pulled him over in the first place - I couldn't tell any difference between his "illegal" tint and my 35% legal front tint.

Must have been a boring morning - he's had the car for five years without an issue.
